On first contact, the low weight is positive: At just 234 grams, the over-ear Urbanista New York is really comfortable to wear, even over long listening sessions.

The ear cushions are covered with synthetic leather and provide sufficiently soft padding; the headband, on the other hand, is only very lightly padded, which was not a noticeable disadvantage due to the low weight.

Thanks to the folding mechanism, the receiver can be stowed away easily in the supplied fabric bag. However, this bag hardly offers any protection against mechanical pressure.

The operation works via mechanical buttons that are distributed on both capsules. On the left capsule, you switch on the receiver using the slide switch, and activate and deactivate noise canceling and Bluetooth pairing with another button.

Three buttons on the right capsule are used to control the source and volume. Great: The headphones offer an additional analog input via mini jack. This means that the New York can also be used wired.

The sound of this receiver was a little too warm. The highs lacked brilliance. The noise canceling had little effect on the sound, but it wasn’t particularly effective. A slight noise was always perceptible.

Conclusion

If you have to pay attention to low weight, the New York from Urbanista is a usable wireless receiver with ANC. Hi-fi enthusiasts shouldn’t expect too much from the sound. On the other hand, it is ideal for watching videos on the tablet on the plane or playing a game. The price is okay.
